Flight control

Injured veterans have been given the chance to take the controls at the second Douglas Bader Foundation Wounded Flying Day.

Ken Hargreaves – who lost both legs after being injured in Iraq in 2003 – was one of those who gathered at Kinloss Barracks airfield for the event.

Although initially nervous about whether he’d made a wise decision to get into the cockpit, later, when back on the ground he described “the sense of freedom and the ability to be in control again”, as fantastic.
